Star Monster –  “BUTTERSCOTCH CANDY EP”

Fast-rising, breakout-talent Star Monster is taking his well-known vision to new heights with the release of BUTTERSCOTCH CANDY EP. The EP is a full circle moment, the years of momentum he’s built up to this point through touring, releasing and cultivating the right people around him placing him at this epic moment in time, exactly where he’s supposed to be. For this EP, Star Monster’s goal, in part, is to give a one-of-a-kind experience to his fans where they could self-reflect and heal while also losing themselves in the ether of the music.

SoDown –  “Running Out”

SoDown once again joins forces with Bailey Flores on “Running Out.” The majestic single reflects on the inevitability of death, reaching for the freedom and release that comes with letting go of daily struggles and cherishing life. “Running Out” begins with atmospheric textures and a harrowing music box melody before transitioning into grand, poignant piano chords and Bailey Flores’ somber melodies. The track then builds with stuttering drum patterns, a resilient vocal passage, rising synth arpeggios, and backing saxophone licks. The track’s central drop – a section that acutely reflects SoDown’s current thematic and sonic ambitions – explodes with razor-sharp bass wubs, a reverberating beat, and aching, ethereal saxophone melodies. The result is an immersive, shifting soundscape – an illuminating mix of styles that tells SoDown’s spiritual story in lavish sonic detail. Listen to the bass-infused track below and connect with SoDown here.

Maddy O’Neal –  “Ricochet LP”

Denver-based producer Maddy O’Neal crafts musical collages. Through a unique blend of styles and influences, she’s cultivated a brand of future bass that incorporates intricate synth design, glistening electro-soul melodies and funky, pulsating basslines – a holistic, individualized sound composed of disparate creative sensibilities. Following a breakneck tour schedule that’s seen O’Neal vaunt her hybrid DJ-drum pad live performance at 90+ shows annually for the last five years, the bass music purveyor now unveils her 10-track Ricochet LP, offering listeners an aestheticized, meticulously-curated peer into her kaleidoscopic world.
